OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by diannep on November 7, 2014 at 9:00am: Tabluckev: Initials are fine and adding hometowns is fine too. Just no last names of SRs are allowed on here. But I agree with what CatMom said about being careful even posting first names which can provide identification with specific posts (yes, we know that the RDCs occasionally are on this site and on the FB private groups....where there's a will, there's a way!).

Good Morning All !

Comment by Tabluckev on November 7, 2014 at 1:39am: So my message would be SR LM or SR JS????

Comment by Tabluckev on November 7, 2014 at 1:38am: CatMom509 Absolutely and thank you for you message. I'm learning. Will you just delete my post and I'll try again getting it right within safety parameters?

Comment by CatMom509 on November 7, 2014 at 1:23am: Tabluckev,

Hello! I know you're anxious to meet moms of other SRs, but I need to ask you to please change the full names of the SRs you just posted to initials. The last names are definitely not allowed according to OPSEC security, but the first names are so unique that an RDC will be able to readily id a mom. Do you know the towns they are from? You could re-phrase as L.M. from __________ and J.S. from_____________. Thanks~~

Comment by CatMom509 on November 6, 2014 at 6:32pm: Okay, Sarge let me know that the Full Moon Family Restaurant (open 24 hours) on the Skokie Hwy 41 just south of Buckley Road on the rightside (close by to RTC) serving a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Sailors eat free there for this meal~~ It is a really casual, family style restaurant. Click on the Contact link to see a map of their location

http://www.fullmoonopen24hours.com/index.html

He also said that alot of restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving, so if you have a place you'd like to go, please call them to double-check. Also check with your hotel if they have a restaurant as that might be an option~~
